Dead Costs Too Much

I see CA is considering abolishing the death penalty. Not for altruistic reasons but to save money. It costs millions more to kill a criminal then it does to send one to prison for life. The article in the Times made it sound like this is a new discovery. It is not. I have always known that life imprisonment cost less then going through all the appeals etc. that must legally be followed before killing a prisoner. Personally, I would rather be dead then in a 8x10 cell for 30 to life.If we wanted to save money we could of began many years ago. Why didn't we? Lawyers; the lawyers that scooped up cash from ridiculous decade long court processes made sure they had a gravy train living.The moral of the story? Most of our politicians are lawyers. Why did they choose to learn the lawyer trade? So they could have a gravy train living; sucking on the tit of the common people. Its time to run the lawyers out of town. Let them lose their homes. Kick every single one out of politics. They are the poison that rotted our great United States.
